Archived: GC Test - Client vs. Server

This section provides a tutorial example on testing garbage collection by comparing performances between HotSpot Server VM and HotSpot Client VM.

I also made some tests to compare between the client version and the server version of JDK 1.4.0.

herong> java -server -Xms2m -Xmx8m GCTest 16 24 > tail_16_24.out

But the program ran out of memory the same way as the client version:
